MIAMI.- The controversy surrounding the arrest of Justin Timberlake for driving under the influence alcohol continues, since the interpreter was released without bail and must appear again in court on July 26, as reported TMZ.
The event occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, June 18 in Long Island, New York, when the NSYC member, aboard a gray BMW X7 from the year 2025, committed some violations. When approached by police, it was noted that he had been drinking, which resulted in him being arrested.
The 43-year-old singer was presented before the Sag Harbor Courthouse, and was accompanied by Edward Burke Jr., a lawyer in the Hamptons.
Given the controversy that this problem has generated, the lawyer made a brief statement on the matter in which he stated that he and his team hope to solve the problem.
“Mr. Burke looks forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations. He will have much to say at the appropriate time. “I am currently awaiting full discovery from the district attorney’s office,” reads a statement from his office sent to the magazine People.
The arrest
Following the arrest, an informant told People that Justin was having dinner at the American Hotel in Sag Harbor. However, when leaving the premises he drove under the influence of alcohol towards a friend’s house, but ran a stop sign and did not stay on the correct lane either.
On the other hand, TMZ notes that some of Justin’s friends arrived at the scene and tried to convince the police to let him go, but they refused.
“As for the traffic stop, law enforcement sources tell TMZ that cops looked at Justin with glassy eyes and say they smelled alcohol on his breath. They say he failed a field sobriety test when he was asked to stop. standing on one leg and walking and turning (…) Justin was handcuffed and arrested, and they tell us it’s all on the body camera,” the portal added.
It was learned that no one was injured by Timberlake’s violations.
